The Only Bestselling Author in Economics in America, Who's African-American

A curious designation, but one I am proud of. It came, appropriatelt so, with no parades, no announcements, no public events, no press conference, no fanfare. It just happened, in the course of society's natural evolution, and our growth. It happened because the market made the choice, regular people made a decision, and leaders embraced.

Even the signing of a first-ever Executive Order establishing financial literacy as U.S. federal government policy by the President of the United States, President George H.W. Bush in January, 2008, while directly inspired by our work, would not have been possible without the action of the President himself.

I am proud of my first published book, Banking on the Future, on the topic of youth and family financial literacy, because it was published by the publisher of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Beacon Press.
